Stuff

I really really want to do something awesome, special, or just plain cool. So far, I have no clue what. I want to draw something beautiful, write something great, or work on that 'Sugar and Tea' skit with Dear Sister... I don't know. I just wish I knew!!!

On another matter, two of my best friends just left on a vacation and won't be back until August. It's awful! Still, I wish them nothing but the best and if I can't play with them, they had better be having a fantastic time!

Well... I guess that's all I have to say! Bye!

Vacation Post

Hey guys!

This is my over-due vacation post, and after much work, I decided not to do the pictures. If you do want to see them, go to the Picture Post on my Dear Sister's blog. Well, it all started Saturday, May 10th...

...with pack, pack, packing... the day before we had made some food and done most of the packing, but we still needed to gather a few things together.
Anyway, it took a while to get in the car, but we left around 12:30--about thirty minutes late! We drove and drove, and I passed the first part by thinking about things... it was really weird because I actually really enjoyed doing that. It was nice.
When we'd been driving for a bit, Mommy started reading aloud to all of us. It was a book written in journal format about a girl named Maria Antonia de Jesus who ran away from home and became a sailor--pretending to be a man, of course--taking place about 200 years ago. We were supposed to read it for a ship thing we were going to do, but I'll tell you about that later.
I really enjoyed listening to Mommy read, and the story was pretty good. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to finish it.
We arrived at the hotel in a rushed state. We really wanted to get the boat thing on time! We grabbed our luggage, checked in, and ran to our room... and oh, my, gosh(!!!), it was beautiful! My favorite part about it was the view... we had the best room in the ENTIRE hotel!
After we checked-in our room we ate, and Daddy, Dear Sister and I all ran to the this boat program thing where we sail on a ship like one that would have been around about 200 years ago (this ship we were going on was the Interceptor on 'Pirates of the Caribbean', by the way)! We arrived a little late, but we were the second family there, so it really didn't matter. It took a while for the others to arrive, but eventually they did.

I didn't throw-up, but I did get a little sea-sick, and so did Rose... but my most wonderful father did. But then, pretty much everyone threw up.
At one point on the trip they were asking us questions about what it was like 200 years ago on a ship like this, and I knew all the answers because of that story mom read us! No one else did! (Dear Sister would have, but she was on the rail being nauseous and didn't feel like answering questions)
My favorite part was when I was leaning over the deck and just looking out at that most beautiful sea as the ship rocked and rolled (it was a pretty wild ride)... it was just so beautiful...
Anyway, by the time we got off we were sopping, wet, a little sick and wishing for a hot bath... and that's when we remembered that jacuzzi(yes, we had a jacuzzi in the hotel)! We ran top speed to the car, called mommy (who had been hanging out on the beach with the boys) and told her to fill it up, and got there as fast as we could.
Once we were there, we lounged in the tub for a while, than went out to eat. We came back and swam around in the Hotel Pool for a while before finally retiring to bed. I was still pretty sick (I had a cold during this trip) so mom gave me some NiteTime and I was able to fall asleep pretty quickly (thank the lord for Nitetime).
When we got up, we alternated going to the beach (me and Dear Sister combed for sea-shells a lot--it was quite fun), eating food, swimming in the pool, looking at the view and just hanging out. We were having a great time. Afterwards, we went to this deli, but it wasn't open on Sundays! So we changed coarse to Fred Meyer's (a.k.a. Freddy's) and bought some frozen food--and some organic strawberries and waffles!
After we ate our frozen food, mommy combined the strawberries with some sugar so we could soak them overnight.
As sunset got closer, we decided to go for a walk along the beach and watch it. The clouds blocked the actual sun, but it still was absolutely wonderful.
The next morning we ate waffles with strawberries, almond butter and jelly. It was really good. We went to the beach one last time and eventually left the hotel. After which we bought some candy and made our way home.

It was a fabulous vacation. I really can't wait until our next one!

The Last Day

Hey guys!

Wow, I haven't been blogging much, have I? And I STILL haven't posted that vacation post... I'll try to get it done before '09!

Anyway, today is my last day of Ballet for this ballet 'year' (we'll start again in a week or two, only it will be the summer session--which is only three days a week). My recital is coming up and I just CAN'T WAIT! Of course, it would be much, much better if I could do it on pointe... You see, last Friday my teacher decided which ones of us could do our dance in pointe shoes (going up on your tip toes in special shoes) and I was one of the three who couldn't. The sad thing is, I really, really wanted to do it, and I tried so hard... I broke two toe nails and got a blister trying. The Teacher talked to the entire class saying that we'd probably get to do it next year, but all I could think was I can't do it THIS year, I can't do THIS dance... Even sadder, some of the people who CAN do it don't want to at all! *sigh* Life isn't fair.

So, instead of blogging, I've been doing a lot of drawing... and actually being slightly pleased at the results. I try to post some pictures I drew later :-)

Well... I'll post later!

Oranges and Apples

Once upon a time Qacei tagged a girl named Galaxy with an ABC blog tag thing. In that blog tag thing, one of the questions she had to answer was: Oranges or Apples? She thought it was NO CONTEST and chose Apples... and I agree with her on that there is NO CONTEST, but, I'm afraid that she is dreadfully wrong on the other aspect--ORANGES are the BEST!

What has caused this sudden change of heart? Well, if you have been reading my blog, than you will know that before we left from our vacation I had a really bad cold, and that my throat was killing me. There was one savior: Oranges. I know this sounds weird, but Oranges while you have a sore throat is like a hot shower when you have chicken pox! It was a miracle, and it tasted fabulous! I practically lived on oranges... it was wonderful!

So now, I love oranges. I really really do. They're totally amazing!

Sorry!

Well... I haven't posted in two weeks! I think that's a record... Why haven't I been posting?

1. I've been working on that Vacation post, and it's a real pain. So I just stopped working on it for a while (I'll get it finished and posted soon, don't worry!), and it didn't seem right to post without it.
2. Another thing, I just didn't feel like it. I was reading, and Drawing, and watching American Idol (DAVID COOK WON!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!--I love David Cook, he is SO awesome!) and making brownies and hanging out and reading in the rain (which I will post about... it is quite lovely. And as you've probably guessed, I did read many books in May... I just haven't posted them on my book blog. Lazy, lazy lazy.) and just doing stuff.

So, I'm back(!)... and you can expect many more posts this day.

'Vacation'

This weekend we're going to go up to the coast!!! Isn't that fabulous?!?!?!

What started all of this? Well...

Mommy found this thing where you could go on a ship for three hours. It sounded like fun so Daddy, Dear Sister and I signed up!
After that, we thought since we were so close we should stop by the coast... and one thing led to another so we decided that we would stay there for the entire weekend! It was a little a lot stressful picking out a hotel, but eventually we decided on one. (we're really excited because (drum roll please) it has a (bigger drum roll please) (okay, one more gigantic drum roll please) SWIMMING POOL!!! And of coarse, if you know me, you know I'll be taking full advantage of it!)

On a bad note:

1. I'm sick (it started Thursday)... we think it's the sickness Mom, Dear Sister, Brother1 & 2 had, but we're not certain.
2. The weather is supposed to be cold and rainy!!! It's just sooooo sad... oh well.
3. To add insult to injury, the next weekend is supposed to be just beautiful... unfortunately, the Ship thing won't be there then.

On a good note:

1. I'm not feeling so bad that I can't go.
2. We'll still have fun... and we always have that swimming pool!
3. Who knows who we'll meet there... maybe I'll make a new friend?
4. We're all going together and that's sure to be fun.
5. IIIIIII CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN'T WAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I can't wait)

Well... I guess that's all I have to say! I probably won't be posting over the weekend, so...

Bye!
